I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel you good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I turn up the collar
On my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
I see the kids in the street
Without enough to eat
Could it be
Really me
Pretending not to see their knees
A summer's disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one-man soul
They follow the pattern
Of the wind, you know
Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man
In the rain
In the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message
Could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself
And make that change
Change
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
I've been a victim of
A selfish kind of love
And it's time that I realized
There was time with no home
Not a nickel to loan
Could it be really me
Pretending that they're not alone
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody's broken heart
On a washed out dream
They follow the pattern
Of the wind, you see
Cause they got nowhere to be
That's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man
In the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message
Could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world
A better place
Take a look at yourself
And make that change
You gotta get it right
Why you got the time
You can close out your mind
Oh, man in the mirror
Change, make the change
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and make that change
Change
Na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Oh
Oh
